Yes interesting indeed however being a typical Journo he tends to ignore certain 'truths' such as the picture he paints "Bali boy was clearly beguiled by the easy access to marijuana and the ways in which adults and the culture more generally appeared to endorse its sale". He conveniently neglects to mention that the boy had been a user since the age of 12 and that this was the crux of his defence
With regards to the decline of Japanese visitors he puts this down to the tragic muder of two Japanese women,however tends to ignore that their numbers plummeted after the Tsunami. Selective facts again.
